GREAT SUCCESS . —TRUE RECIPROCITY . ili lit X 1 CH , AMD ZACH fO » All . TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . FMEKDS . —Tbe propriety of establishing a Natiowal Berbfit Sociitt has been frequently nrged upon onr attentioa , ana a strong de » ir « exprened that we should originate one , in order to afford an opportunity to those Of our fr iends who have a desire of joiniug an institution under the auspices of the movement party , and established for the purpose of aiding theoiwaid march of Democracy . With the desire of our ftlends we cordially sympathise , and were it not that our time is folly and completely occupied in attending to onr presiat engagements , we shoald feel great pleainre in complying with their wishes . We have long been of opinion that the cause of the people wauld ba math served hy the establithaent of such an Association ; At present there are thousands who join other societies who wauld prefer becoming members of one composed of persons whoie opinions barmoniia with their own , and whose funds instead of being placed at the disposal of their enimies , would be applied to benefit themselves , and the cause which they have at heart . Ws must , however , decline entering upon the organisation * f such a body , but , at the same time , would recommend all who fesl interested in the matter , to join the NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE BENEFIT SOCIETY , Which has betn some time in existence , and which was established for the pnrpoies above enumerated . The actual management of it devolves uponits indefatigable founder , Mr Stauwood , a man in whose honour and probity we hare the greatest reliance—so ranch confidence do we repose in him , that we have comented to become the directors of the . sodety—Mr Stallwood undertaking to do the work of secretary , our part of the business being to make a periodical examination of the accounts , and other monetary transactions , which all parties may rely upon being done by us . The ehief recommendations of this soclety ^ are—that the subscriptions ore liberal ; its government democratic , and its funds will b « deposited in tag Namorai .

RALLY FOR THE CHARTER ! It appears to u < that the time has arrived when all who profess the faith of Democracy , as embodied in the People ' s Charter , should make _ an earnest effort to create a national agitation in favour of that measure . " The times are out of joint , " and it is evident that the ruling faction know not how to " set them right . " Bankruptcy and pauperism overspread the land , and the sufferers can cherish no hope of remedy at the hands of our rulers . In all probability , the rule of the " incapables" will not continue much longer . Russell is " not strong enough for the place , " ^ h *\ fc . ¦ ^ — % *— - ¦ AT . _ _ _ _ - ~_ _ - ¦ «^ ¦ _ ' ^ P must
ouu wajrjur some uiie eise—ior Bentinck or Peel . The people can hardly lose by the change , but will they gain that which they have a right to require—social justice and political emancipation ? No ! Nehlier Peel , Bentinck , nor Russell , will take up the scheme of reform , propounded by Mr O'Connor in his statesman . like letter , published in oar last . Nor will they do anything effectual for the correction of the monitrous abuses under which the people groan . The taxation—national and local ; the monopolies—class and chartered ; the ecclesiastical , colonial , naval , and military abuses aill , not one of them , be really reformed by the politicians in power , or those likely to be in power , so long as the present system of misrepresentation
continues . The triumphs achieved in the recent general election have sufficiently proved the power of the people . After the Nottingham election , no one can question the potency of moral means . Had the people generally been as " up to the mark" as they were at Nottingham , the coining Session would have seen the Charter made the law of the land . It is our conviction that the newlv-elected Parliament
will not exist one-third of the term to which the life of its predecessor was prolonged . Thus believing , we deem it a sacred duty to impress upon the leading spirits of Democracy throughout the conntry , the necessity of making immediate and energetic exertions to organise the acknowledged Chartists , propagate Chartist principles amongst those yet uninformed of those principles , and , in short , rouse the nation to the assertion of its rights , and the obtaining of those rights through legislative
action . The weakness of our enemies is our opportunity . Distress and disaffection everywhere abound ; now , therefore , is the time to gather the elements of agitation , and so combine them as to act with resistless force upon the ruling few . Thousands of the Bourgeoisie , who twelve months ago regarded Cobden as a Messiah , are now convinced of the delusion of "Free Trade , " and are eager for some more sweeping change . And although ) we have no faith in the shopocracy as a class , nevertheless we are
persuaded that even they may be acted upon to the great advantage of the popular cause , provided the Proletarians are imbued with the Nottingham spirit . The unhappy condition of workless , foodless , and all but homeless thousands in the manufacturing districts , must render them impatient for some speedy change . Show them that the Charter may be obtained—as it may be by a year or two ' s hard work—and they will rejoin the Chartist banner with more than their former enthusiasm , tempered byjthat 4 discretion which they have learned in the school of
experience . The agricultural labourers who have never yet been taken proper account of in political agitations , should not be neglected by the new " propaganda . " They have long lost all faith in the " squire" and the " parson ; " they understand that " Laws grind the poor , and rich men rule the laws ;" but they have never yet been taught their rights as men , and their power to obtain those rights . Now is the time to instruct them . Now is the time to teach them—41 Why they fear fetters when they might be free . "
Again , those formidable masses of men the " navviea" have been utterly neglected , when they might , and should have been , an arm of strength to the Chartist cause—an arm capable of producing alittle " wholesome terror , " 'if need be . Thousands of these men are now unemployed , and it has been long foreseen that when the principal railways are completed , the greater portion of these armies of labourers will be at once pauperised or brigandised . Were their intelligence at all corresponding with their physical power , they alone might dintat . «
terms to the enemies of labour . Their conversion to Democracy is of the utmost importance Let the Chartists see to it . ¦ / . Among the most encouraging of present circumstances , we must include the friendly disposition of the Irish people . The conciliatory exertions of the Chartists , continued for many years , are , at length , producing the longed for fp , it 8 , Amongst the Irishmen * 1 siding m England , a trul y fraternal feeline i 8 springing up , and our last number contained the gratif ying assurance from that consider .
ZS Itl 8 tofin ^ presented by the Na-Snl 5 >\ were > Mng to enter into an filV ?? i and defensive , with the people of England , for the recovery of the rights of the people of both countries . What obstacle shall stay the march of Democracy , or prevent the triumph of the people , if Ene ' lishmen and Irishmen combine to strike one blow for their liberties ? We appeal to the Chartist Executive to give us a programme of action . One of the members of that executive , Mr O'Connor , will , before these remarks have been published , take iu w ! S * House of Common 8- Bu to do « U that he desires t . do , the honourable mem . ber for Nottingham must be supportedI by " 'the pressure from without . " To hLEI Z

zeal not to be mistaken . The delegate meetings and re-organisation . of Chartist associations going in different localities , exhibit a popular awakening , for which we havs long hoped . In London , the metropolitan delegate council give promise of active work . The Fraternal Democrats , convinced that the people of this country cannot give effectual aid to the oppressed people of other lands until English - men be themselves free , have resolved to agitate for the Charter , as the best means of promoting the cause of veritable Democracy . If the true Democrats will but work In union , this metropolis may be made what it should be—the citadel of Chartism .
A central place of meeting is much needed in the Metropolis . We suggest to the Chartist Executive that ; if possible , a place be obtained at which once a week an aggregate metropolitan meeting shall assemble , to review the Parliamentary proceedings of the preceding week ; when necessary , steps might be taken to bring the power of metropolitan opinion to bear upon any question about to come under discussion in Parliament . There can be no doubt that Mr O'Connor would attend the
said meetings , when not prevented by hia parliamentary or other imperative duties , ana it U not impossible but that the gentee l Radical members , who were too " respectable" to attend the Crown and Anchor banquet , might before long be brought to see the expediency of exhibiting themselves . The Chartist representatives elected by show of hands , residing in London , would of course , attend . Shutout
of the ^ House of Commons they might , nevertheless , in the popular forum , assert the legitimacy of their claims to represent the people . London has need ' . of a " Conciliation Hall , ' ' divested of the humbug for which that celebrated place has become so notorious . Now ii the time to centralise the intellectual power of this mighty city , and thereby cause the toiceof its hundreds of thousands to be heard
with respect by our class-elected legislators . Of course "the sinews of war" will be wanting , and we trust that any appeal from the Executive will receive prompt and universal response . We have faith that if at this time the leaders exhibit energy they will not fail to obtain popular support . Now jis the time for action . The misgoverned and misguided people , suffering starvation and threatened with a grinding Militia Law . and ( in Ireland ) a new Coercion Bill , are
r eady to march for the Charter . Revolution is rapidly approaching in France , and throughout the Continent the signs of the times betoken the coming of ' the war of principles . ' Abroad and at home the English Democrats are regarded as the pioneers of progress , and the advanced guard of Freedom ' s army , " Now's the day and now ' s the hour , " for the Chartists to prove themselves worthy of their glorious mission . . " Will must ripen into deed 1 "

THE CHARTER vemu NAMBY PAMBY . If knowing right from wrong—if being prepared to make a sound use of that knowledge—if extending the hand of fellowship it > the sufferer abroad—if being able to see through the tricks of false friends , and frustrate the designs of open enemies—if freedom from bigotry and love of true- religion—if honour to the good and hatred of the en ? , are proofs of the popular education necessary for the enjoyment of She franchise , then - surely the people nave proved a due educational qualification ; and that proof was abundantly afforded those gentlemen who spoke- at themeeting held ; at the Crown and Anchorundter
, the auspices of the International league , on Monday last , as reported in another part of our columns * We do not quarrel with the osttmiMt purposes of that League , but we do eschew the-attempt to mate the democracy of other countries believe , that the English people are contented undar a system of insult , slavery , and starvation . The working men Of London hwe again nobly done their duty , in frustrating another attempt at middle-das * milk-andwater Liberalism . The meeting was originally called for eight o ' clock in the evening and changed to one in the afternoon . It wa * fortunate thfr
working men were able to attend , —no doubt our " Liberal" friends forgot how many were out of employment . It is fortunate , we say , they were able to attend , since otherwise , continental democracy , and our own staunch Chartists in the country , might have received the erroneous impresswnj that a public meeting could have been held in tnc metropolis ,, at which a resolution like the following could bepassed . — " That it is our duty , as a fuee natio » , to inform ourselves fully upon all matters bearing on the conduct and the policy of owr government whether at home or abroad , &c . "
The sound sense of the meeting wa& at once ex .. pressed in dissent , from the commenting words—and : a working man ^ moved an amendment , that we were not a free nation—which amendment was * carried without a dissentient voice . It is a remarkable eircumstance , that almost every speaker in the roeetmg professed himself ignorant of the subject gives him to dilate upon . Colonel Thompson ,, talking of Switzerland , said , " he was not sufficiently instructed in their differences . " George Thompson " confessed a large amount of ignorance- about foreign politics , " —yet this gentleman came there to instruct the people . They must have been equally ignorant of home politics as well , if they eould designate the slaves of English class-legislation a free nation
"As a free nation . " Ay ! isdeed , we are- free ! Free to starve ,-free to perish in Ireland , —free to be exiled from the Highlands , —free to be east into beggary in England ( but , even then , not free- to begifree to go to theiBastile .
